The most realistic founding story so far is Bezos explanation for how he founded Amazon.
It was always a business-first mindset in an area of high growth.
That one short video filmed in 1997 should be a masterclass by itself.

- anongraddebt 7y agoThis. Say what you will about Bezos, but he seems to be the most impressive tech founder out of any of FANG and any of the large unicorns founded after Facebook. Such an impressive list of deft moves that he made (in a range of different areas) one after another between '94 and 2000 to set Amazon on a path to meteoric growth.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoOne thing to keep in mind is that he worked for nearly a decade in product/business roles before founding Amazon.
- anongraddebt 7y agoI agree that that explains some of the difference. Not sure it means that he isn't the most impressive. I'd also add that in his stints at different firms pre-Amazon he was quite clearly an outlier among high-achievers.
